The art isn't that great this issue, it seems. But I'm still intrigued to see where it goes. That Grayskull is fine for Skeletor's twisted world. I hope it's not the regular version though. Kind of uninspired.

Still, excited to read the actual story. I loved this quote about Adam and Teela:

"There was never a romantic interest. They were just really, really close friends, and I wanted to keep that. I don't want them to suddenly kiss and have feelings for one another. We don't have that many good, solid guy/gal friendships in comics or in media."

So Grayskull is the first redesign I'm not overly ok with. It looks like the Hall of Doom from Super Friends. In that picture it looks more like a small fort rather than a castle. Hopefully, it's only that design in the alternate future and when they defeat Skeletor it reverts back to a more classic design.

Still, excited to read the actual story. I loved this quote about Adam and Teela:

"Adam's an interesting guy in his own right, and you're beginning to see in him the qualities that make him He-Man.

"The sword is just something that, as far as I'm concerned, gives him a physical transformation and puts him in the clothes, but the mind and the morality defines the character as He-Man since they are the same person."

That Castle Grayskull is a complete joke. Utterly pathetic. I think the art overall is just not good. I don't like it one bit. Skeletor is way too huge... he looks like he wouldn't even fit in that Castle Grayskull, and everything is just off, proportions, colors, everything. Not impressed at all.

Also in the page with Beastman kneeling before Skeletor, why is there an extra box around them? That makes no sense, and it looks BAD!

I do like the redesign of BeastMan, especially since they lessened the stupid mohawk.

But Skeletor and Castle Grayskull look utterly ridiculous. Why make Skeletor huge like that? That would be like making Lex Luthor or the Joker super-buff as well, stupid. Skeletor looks like Darkseid a little.

Oh, that's Trapjaw on the front of #2.. I thought it was a badly drawn Skeletor at first. Not a good sign

Glad to hear I'm not the only one utterly cheesed off with modern cmic story-telling methods. Do book publishers sell novels one chapter at a time? There'd be an uproar if they did, but with comics it's okay for some reason.
